4 0

Answer:

Its velocity

Explanation:

Velocity is speed with a direction.

Speed is the rate at which someone or something is able to move or operate.

In the question its telling us that the bus is going 56 miles per hour but it aslo gives us a direction, in this case is southwest.

An object with a mass of 20 kg has a net force of 80 N acting on it. What is the acceleration of the object?
Archy [21]

Answer:

4m/s^2

Explanation:

mass(m)=20 kg

force=80 N

acceleration (a)=?

Therefore,

Force = mass * acceleration

80 = 20*a

a=80/20

=4m/s^2

Light of wavelength 425.0 nm in air falls at normal incidence on an oil film that is 850.0 nm thick. The oil is floating on a wa
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

in oil film        λ = 303.57 10⁻⁹ m

in the water film    λ = 319.55 10⁻⁹ m

Explanation:

When electromagnetic radiation reaches a material, its propagation is by a process that we call absorption and reflection,

when light reaches a surface it has a mass much greater than the mass of the photons (m = 0), therefore there is an elastic collision where the frequency does not change, due to the speed of light in the material medium changes, therefore the only possibility is that the wavelength in the material changes, to maintain the relationship

             v = λ f

in the void we have

             c = λ₀ f

we divide the two expression

            c / v = λ₀ / λ

the refractive index is

             

              n = c / v

              n = λ₀ /λ

              λ = λ₀ / n

let's calculate

in oil film

            λ = 425 10⁻⁹ / 1.40

            λ = 303.57 10⁻⁹ m

in the water film

            λ = 425 10⁻⁹ / 1.33

            λ = 319.55 10⁻⁹

those wavelengths are in the ultraviolet

What is the altitude of the Sun at noon on December 22, as seen from a place on the Tropic of Cancer?
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

108.217 °

Explanation:

Day of year = 356 = d (Considering year of 365 days)

Latitude of Tropic of Cancer = 23.5 °N

Declination angle

δ = 23.45×sin[(360/365)(d+284)]

⇒δ = 23.45×sin[(360/365)(356+284)]

⇒δ = 5.2832 °

Altitude angle at solar noon

90+Latitude-Declination angle

= 90+23.5-5.2832

= 108.217 °

∴ Altitude angle of the Sun as seen from the tropic of cancer on December 22 is 108.217 °

If a dog runs 25m east and then turns around and runs
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

The dog ran a total distance of 45m but he is only 5m away from the starting line

Explanation: When you add 25 to 20 you get 45 for the total distance and if he ran back in the same direction then you would subtract 20 from 25 and get 5m
